Roland DG Corporation

Introducing the LPX-60 Compact 3D Laser Scanner

Hamamatsu, Japan, September 15, 2006– Roland DG Corporation has expanded its line of LPX 3D laser scanners with the addition of the LPX-60, a new 3D laser scanner designed to deliver all the precision of Roland's larger, more advanced LPX-600 in a compact, affordable device. Designed for ease of use, the LPX-60 can be controlled from a single button and comes complete with user-friendly scanning software that creates high-quality digital data from a wide variety of objects.

"The LPX-60 is ideal for reverse engineering and for designing smaller items for the production of clay prototypes," said Toshi Yahiro, Roland DG marketing manager. "The LPX-60 is unique in that it allows virtually anyone to create 3D files without a lengthy learning curve. Its unprecedented ease of use makes the LPX-60 well suited for vocational training and other educational applications as well as commercial use. Instructors and designers can operate the LPX-60 with confidence — even without previous training on the device."

LPX-60 3D Laser Scanner Features:

‐ Extremely easy to use
‐ Even novices can generate scans to create high-quality 3D files.
‐ Includes user-friendly Roland LPX EZ Studio scanning software
‐ Easy setup through a standard USB connection
‐ Delivers the speed and precision of Roland's professional LPX-600 model including high-quality scanning of up to 0.2mm (0.008") scanning-pitch
‐ Offers a work area of 203 mm (8") in diameter and 304.8 mm (12") in height
‐ Desktop size and quiet operation make the LPX-60 ideal for any school or office environment
‐ Special features for advanced users:

Roland also offers the MDX series of 3D milling machines to meet a wide range of demands from 3D professionals who are still developing their digital design skills. To go from initial design to finished prototype, combine the LPX-60 and a Roland 3D desktop milling machine such as the MDX-40. Simply scan a clay model using the LPX-60 and then mill the scanned data with the MDX-40 for a professional prototype. The entire process can be completed right at the desktop.
